NETSOL Technologies, a provider of IT and enterprise software solutions primarily serving the global leasing and finance industry, hired Erik Wagner to serve as its first chief marketing officer.
Wagner has more than 16 years of experience in the marketing field. After seven years leading client services for Volacci, Wagner joined Lifesize, a software-as-a-service video conferencing company, where he oversaw global demand generation and the launch of Lifesize Cloud, which grew to more than 1,000 customers during his tenure. Following his time with Lifesize, he led marketing at FFW, a global digital agency, catalyzing growth and market expansion that preceded its acquisition by Celine Sieben Digital. Wagner then held the position of head of growth at Onclusive, a public relations analytics software-as-as-service startup. The company was acquired by STG Partners toward the end of his tenure. Most recently at Plivo, a software-as-a-service company specializing in communication APIs, Wagner’s marketing strategies helped fuel growth, earning the company a place on the 2023 Inc. 5000.
“We are excited to have Erik on board as our chief marketing officer,” Najeeb Ghauri, CEO of NETSOL Technologies, said. “His vast experience and proven track record in enhancing revenue through strategic marketing efforts make him a valuable asset to our team. Erik’s appointment is a clear indication of our focus on expanding our global footprint and enhancing our offerings in the automotive and equipment manufacturing, banking, and lending industries.”
“I’m thrilled to join the NETSOL Technologies team and to have the opportunity to contribute to such a dynamic and forward-thinking organization. NETSOL’s suite of products and professional services are not just cutting-edge but are also deeply transformative for the industries we serve,” Wagner said. “I look forward to leveraging my experience to further amplify NETSOL’s market presence and to drive continued growth and success for our global clients.”
